how's it going guys welcome back and as part of the little series here we're doing uh to inspect
certain aspects and features of vpns today we're taking a look at the usability of nordvpn both
the application itself and the website so before we begin if you guys are interested in nordvpn
you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the description down below you'll be able to
get an extra month with the two year plan if you guys are interested so be sure to check that out
uh you'll also find a review if you'd like to know the ins and outs advantages and disadvantages of
nordvpn now nordvpn's website looks a lot like those of other popular vpn websites but that's not
such a bad thing it's intuitive and simple enough for tech newbies to easily navigate while still
providing enough information for seasoned surfers to find it useful and with that said if you're
skilled in computing and networking you won't find anything too technical here as nordvpn doesn't
exactly offer any white papers or advanced details regarding its software or processes if you'd like
to learn more about the inner workings of the services you're using you're likely to be a little
bit underwhelmed though you'll still find quite a bit of good information uh on the blog section so
that's not such a bad thing you know you can go to the in-depth part here and you may be able to find
a little bit of perhaps news a little bit of details and articles here and there that you may
find quite useful overall the nordvpn experience is actually very intuitive i love the map design
it's super easy to navigate just scrolling with your mouse and you know perhaps you can also brush
up on your geography a little bit uh all across the globe here so i love this design you can also
of course search for servers here if you'd rather not go through the map kind of format or you can
just scroll up and down here and take a look at everything you can also click at the options here
and pick exactly which server you would like to join which can also be very useful um so you know
for buffalo for example you'll see quite a few servers here and it's the same with every single
state and all the other countries so very cool uh navigating to the options is also super easy
just you know everything is very well laid out i would definitely appreciate a dark mode though so
yeah if i were to give the usability in a plus i wouldn't be able to because it could the window
can get pretty big but uh you know at night time for example it could get really bright on the eyes
so a dark mode would really uh be appreciated which is kind of nitpicky from my side i guess
but uh yeah that that will prevent me from getting uh giving the usability in a plus everything is
very clear here and through the options nothing is really complicated overall the uh nordvpn user
experience is a positive one the website and apps are easy on the eyes and not too tough to handle
or look at it's nice that the information provided by the website is so accessible
to the lay user but it would be even nicer if more detailed technical documentation were offered for
transparency purposes device support is pretty standard though the browser extensions are a
nifty bonus and the manual configuration guides many of which were contributed by the nordvpn
user community are a thoughtful inclusion calling the linux repository and app is a bit of a stretch
but it's still more than many other providers offer besides linux users
tend to be pretty proficient with command lines anyway so no problems there the apps themselves
are snappy and smooth but the map interface though it's very nice to look at it can get
clunky at times if you're switching between uh servers without disconnecting but overall it's
it still performs fairly well and overall you know i appreciate little tidbits of information
especially when going through these servers for example you're able to see the server load
and of course those full servers will be fully loaded and you won't be even be able to i i guess
no you won't be able to connect anyway so yeah uh why would you even do that so uh anyways overall
it's a great vpn and if you guys are interested in nordvpn you'll find links to special deals
